Lecturer, BIOL-1112 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGYThis course deals with the biological study of the human organism; microscopic and gross anatomy; cellular and general physiology, and human genetics.

Lecturer and Lab Instructor, BIOL-2902 BIOLOGY OF BACTERIA AND ARCHAEAThis course provides an introduction to the morphology, cellular physiology, ecology and biotechnology applications of the domains Bacteria and Archaea. In the laboratory, emphasis is placed on examining the fundamental principles and methods used in culturing, characterizing, and classifying Bacteria.

Lecturer and Lab Instructor, BIOL-3901 MICROORGANISMS AND DISEASEThe course will include a study of medically important microorganisms with emphasis on viruses and bacteria, including chlamydiæ, mycoplasmas, and rickettsias. Topics to be covered will include mechanisms of microbial pathogenicity and virulence; the etiology and epidemiology of important human pathogens; public health and nosocomial infections; antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy; and basic principles of host defence mechanisms. Attention will also be paid to diseases of important animal species and to plants of economic importance.

PREVIOUSLY TAUGHT

Lab Instructor, BIOL-1112 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGYThis course deals with the biological study of the human organism; microscopic and gross anatomy; cellular and general physiology, and human genetics.

Lab Instructor, BIOL-1115 CELLS AND CELLULAR PROCESSESThis course will focus on the structural components, biochemistry, and physiology of cells. Topics to be covered will include structure and function of macromolecules, introduction to metabolism, cells and cell structure, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, mitosis and meiosis, life cycles, Mendelian genetics, chromosomes and heredity, DNA structure and replication, transcription and translation, and DNA technology. The laboratory component of this course will both supplement and support the lecture material.

Lab Instructor, BIOL-2301 GENETICSGenetics is central to the study of Biology. It deals with the processes of heredity at all levels, from molecules to populations. Genetic analysisis a logical process; the steps we use today are much the same as those employed by Mendel. Genetic phenomena are analyzed using chemical, biochemical, mathematical, and physical techniques. This course will give you an understanding of the subject as a whole and provide you with a sound basis for evaluating contemporary issues such as genetic engineering, environmental mutagens, heritable human diseases etc. Topics to be covered will include: extensions to Mendelian analysis, mapping techniques, gene mutation, the effects of changes in chromosome number and chromosome structure, the genetics of bacteria and their viruses, the nature of the gene, recombinant DNA technology, and population genetics. ​
